UNTHSC Graduation and Commission...

May 15th was Jordans graduation from UNTHSC with his Masters of Medical Science
It was a loooong ceremony, but worth the wait. Kinda funny story, I ran out 
of batteries in my camera in the ceremony, so I ran out to the car to get more
then my shoe broke, so I got in the car and drove to a shoe boutique that
was like 1/2 a mile from the event (in fort worth area by TCU)
bought a pair of flip flops-went back to the graduation, ran 
all the way from the far away parking lot and made it back in time before he 
walked across the stage. Needless to say, I did take those shoes back (b/c I
had just bought them!!!) and I am still enjoying my
$25 flipflops!! lol.

With the graduate!!


Becca flew in from Kansas to be here!! 
Hayden is obviously THRILLED!

For some reason my camera was shaky...boo! There he is though walking

waiting to walk

the coliseum I ran around
Becca, Hayden and Kelsey
after the graduation waiting to take some pictures and do the commissioning.
As you know from previous posts jordan has joined the Air Force
for Health Professions Scholarships-here he is getting commissioned as
an Officer into the Air Force by Lt. Morgan!!
It was neat to be there and get both of these things done on the same day!





Now he is Lt. Carl in the Air Force!



               with his sisters!                     with his brother, Gabe     (my family was out of town=(

Proud Parents I'm sure!


with his recruiter, Sgt. Lochrie out front 

pretty excited=) I couldn't be more proud!!!



we went to railhead to eat afterwards-here he is opening some cards/gifts

his AF coin


Finally back home....with his new diploma!! They get bigger apparently=) 

It was a fun day, and so nice to have family together!!
I am so proud of Jordan completing an entire masters in one year-while working 2 part time
jobs, its really amazing. He has great dedication and works hard at 
everything he does, I am excited to see what a great medical student he will
be and an absolutely fantastic doctor! 4 more years!!
